Our Team – North Dallas/Richardson

Steve MacMeeken

Owner North Dallas/Richardson
Owner Plano/Allen/McKinney
Area Director Frisco/Propser/Celina and the Tampa/Hillsborough North

Steve MacMeeken owns the North Dallas/Richardson  and the Plano/Allen/McKinney Southern Painting franchises, and recently expanded his role as the Area Director for the Southern Painting office in the Frisco/Prosper/Celina and the Tampa/Hillsborough North area of Florida.

With more than 25 years of hands-on experience as a tradesman, Steve joined Southern Painting in 1993 and by 2000 owned one of the first Southern Painting offices in Texas. Working alongside his brother, Rick, Steve plans on employing his proven methods of business success to help launch Southern Painting into the Florida market.

As a franchise owner, Steve knows that Southern Painting’s success depends upon integrity and customer service, which he has made the cornerstones of his business model. Steve has worked diligently to develop his business to become the largest residential repaint office for Southern Painting in the DFW area.

Steve moved to Collin County in 1981 and before long, met and married Robyn and started their family. He has spent his life creating business opportunities for many people, but most importantly, created an environment that has allowed his two sons and two of his brothers to join the family of Southern Painting. As a true, family-operated business, Steve takes immense pride in serving his customers while continuing to successfully brand the Southern Painting family.
